As a Client Engagement Consultant, you will focus on business development and client acquisition for Tempting Recruitment.

Your primary responsibility will be to identify and engage with new clients, build strong relationships, and generate recruitment opportunities. While you won’t manage the full 360 recruitment cycle, you will partner with our delivery consultants who source, screen, and place candidates.

This role is ideal for a driven and ambitious individual who thrives in a sales and relationship-led environment, enjoys opening new doors, and wants to play a central role in growing our client base.

Applicants with experience in door-to-door or face-to-face sales are highly encouraged to apply, as the resilience, persistence, and closing skills developed in those environments are directly transferable to success in this role.

Duties and responsibilities will include:

  • Proactively identify and develop new business opportunities through cold and warm outreach
  • Research target companies, sectors, and decision-makers to generate leads
  • Engage prospective, lapsed, and existing clients through calls, emails, LinkedIn, and client visits
  • Build relationships with hiring managers, HR, and decision-makers to understand recruitment needs
  • Pitch recruitment solutions and services effectively to prospective clients
  • Negotiate commercial terms, agreements, and fees in line with company policies
  • Book and attend client meetings, presentations, and networking events
  • Maintain a strong sales pipeline and achieve weekly, monthly, and annual new business KPIs
  • Collaborate with delivery consultants to ensure smooth handover of vacancies and strong service delivery
  • Use ATS/CRM to record business development activity, opportunities, and client information
  • Provide regular updates to management on sales activity, pipeline progress, and new wins

Your training

  • Full training will be given leading to a recognised Level 3 Recruiter Apprenticeship Standard Qualification
  • Full on-the-job training will be delivered
  • Off-the-job training will be supported by our Training Provider - Davidson Training UK Ltd
  • All training is carried out within the workplace during working hours

Where it leads

  • Full-time position and growth within the business
  • We want to train an apprentice and help them grow and flourish with us
